The Qur'an, believed by Muslims to be the word of God, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad 1,400 years ago. It is the supreme authority in Islam and the living source of all Islamic teaching; it is a sacred text and a book of guidance that sets out the creed, rituals, ethics, and laws of the Islamic religion. It has been one of the most influential books in the history of literature.

Recognized as the greatest literary masterpiece in Arabic, it has nevertheless remained difficult to understand in its English translations. This new translation is written in a contemporary idiom that remains faithful to the original, making it easy to listen to while retaining its powers of eloquence. Archaisms and cryptic language are avoided and the Arabic meaning preserved by respecting the context of the discourse. The message of the Qur'an was directly addressed to all people regardless of class, gender, or age, and this translation is equally accessible to everyone.

About the series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

I’ve read a few translations in the past, and this one so far uses the simplest language which makes it easy to understand what the author is speaking about! Highly recommend for anyone at any age who is wanting to read the Holy Quran in English to understand it.

Very good Tasfir

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on January 7, 2023

Verified Purchase

This was a great explanation of the Quran in the English language. Made understanding the Quran easy.

Because this book was great, I know actually understand a lot of the Quran that I would simply memorize before.

SIDE NOTE: To any muslim converts or anyone simply trying to read or research the Quran. Please remember that translation from Arabic to english leads to some differences in understanding. This is why this is considered “Tasfir” (understanding) rather than Quran. It is not considered exact Quran but still can be used to understand the main or general ideas behind Quran. For a full 100% understanding no other language qualifies.

The most favirate book I read

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on September 8, 2021

Verified Purchase

I was cancelled the order because I would like two languages together. However, it was delivered. I had finished reading. The reasons why I give 4 stars are translation and the quality of the book. The layout of the book is slightly smaller, I like it's to be larger and the text larger. Also, the paper is a bit thin. For translation, I am confused on some parts, for example, people or all people translated on 'the man' on a lot of chapters.

Best and Easiest Interpretation I have Ever Read

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on October 26, 2020

Verified Purchase

I love the easiness of the interpretation; it is written in such English non Royal English that I can understand and isn’t jaw breaking to read, it actually makes you want to read more and more like a story book, which parts of it are - histories of the past, examples and lessons of life. Thank you Allah for blessing me with the opportunity to read this easy interpretation of The Noble Quran

Loooooove this Qur’an!!!

I bought this as a first timer and I have to say I’m very impressed. It is so easy to read, understand and really opens your eyes and heart to the truth. I’ve wanted to understand Islam and had to find a Qur’an that would make it clear to me and now that I’m being educated it makes me want to learn more and dig deeper. Very satisfied with my purchase.

HONEST UNBIASED REVIEW

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 17, 2020

Verified Purchase

Was slightly dubious about buying this Quran translation. However, I have been advised that this Quran is an authentic translation and easy to read incomparison to previous translations I have attempted to read. Lots of footnotes and Pre-Surah explanations included. I would recommend this for all trying to gain an understanding on the Quran. If you are new to Islamic literature I strongly urge you to do research before reading the Quran, various passages/verses can be easily misinterpreted and ambiguous. It will be out of context and was revealed specific to the time/circumstances at the time of the Prophet (S.A.W). Similarly, if you are one with imaan this book is the ultimate guide, every verse can be applied in our daily life to be a successful competent individuals encouraging all mankind to live in peace and harmony.
Highly recommend! Leave a thumbs for the honest review.

I wish I had found this years ago...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 18, 2019

Verified Purchase

I have bought a few English translation (both paper and ebooks) and there all great within their own right.

This translation arrived today and I can’t put it down, I love the feel of the book, I feel comfortable with it. It lays down flat and the paper is light and soft to the touch. These are just minor things but it all adds up.

The way in which this has been translated, it’s easy to follow, some translations I find are difficult to read and digest but this one is really good. I wish I had bought this years ago.

The only minor minor thing I don’t like and this is just my personal preference. I love to highlight books that I’ll coming back to and although the paper is soft and light the highlighter does bleed into the paper. This isn’t to put you off buying, regardless of not being able to highlight I would still purchase this. Just something to be mindful off. Otherwise I would have given this 5 stars.

Best Quran Translation ever. I’ve bought this for loads of my family and friends who were reluctant to read the translation for fear of not understanding. I love the information and mini back round story before each surah. Totally changed my outlook. It’s a shame people haven’t read the total translation for themselves. It’s beautiful.
